User talk:Cosmotology

Welcome to Wikipedia, Cosmotology! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Rasnaboy (talk) 12:12, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic edits[edit]

Heads-up--"primidi", "academickids", and several other sites you found are cut'n'paste of material Wikipedia articles themselves, so they can't be used as a reference for Wikipedia articles. DMacks (talk) 12:44, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, [1] is substantive content change, certainly not simply a "Fixed Typo" edit as you wrote in your edit-summary. DMacks (talk) 13:11, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are generally not helping. If you can't evaluate the quality of the sources, better to leave the {{citation needed}} tag and let someone else deal with it. Citing things to copies of Wikipedia often spreads misinformation and hurts our quality and reliability much more than alerting people to the fact that something is not cited. —Kusma (talk) 14:54, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The claim you aim to reference here is not in the linked document. If you do this again, you will be blocked from editing. —Kusma (talk) 15:00, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit reversion[edit]

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:30, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
